With historically top performing portfolios and a team of certified financial advisors that ensure your excess funds are working for you

 

Kuwait, 27 June 2021: Gulf Bank is encouraging clients to put their hard-earned savings into good use with WISE Investments, the Bank’s digital investment platform that allows customers to customize their investing experience and start growing their wealth. In light of recent socio-economic conditions, and in light of the postponement of loan installments over the past few months, Gulf Bank is offering clients the opportunity to invest a portion of their excess funds through WISE. The advisory and portfolio management platform follows a Nobel Prize-winning investment strategy that allows clients to invest in international markets in an easy, transparent and cost-efficient way.

 

Dalya Al-Qassem, Head of Investment Management at Gulf Bank, commented: “With so many of us having to shift gears when it comes to planning during the past two years, one thing is for certain: it is never too late to start planning for the future. For many of us, the past year has posed a great opportunity to start prioritizing our savings and take advantage of the multitude of simplified investment tools that Gulf Bank has made available through WISE Investments — from cost-efficient portfolios, to certified advisors, and more. That is why we are encouraging all our clients to seize the opportunity to start planning their financial futures and start achieving their various financial goals.”

 

As a low-cost investment solution, the WISE Investments platform continues to prove its advantages over other investment alternatives in the long term. In addition to robust returns, WISE clients enjoy a high level of transparency and constant flexibility with their portfolios, with the option to liquidate their investments easily and quickly. When investing with WISE Investments, clients also ensure they are investing in tax-efficient funds that aim to maximize their returns, while avoiding hidden fees. The objective of WISE Investments is to encourage investors of all ages to actively manage their finances in an effort to safeguard their futures.

 

To further simplify the investment process, WISE Investments’ certified Investment Advisors are also ready to advise, manage, and assist clients in achieving their financial goals. All WISE advisors are experienced in local and global markets. By building a uniquely tailored Investment Policy Statement (IPS) that clearly states the customer’s financial goal, investment horizon and risk appetite, WISE advisors can assist customers in attaining their investment goals and growing their wealth.

 

It is worth noting that WISE Investments portfolios have also performed remarkably well in the past few years,. Since its inception, WISE Investments portfolios have achieved 53.2% cumulative total returns for portfolios with aggressive investment strategies, and 27.0% cumulative total returns for portfolios with conservative investment strategies. The rates of return for both investment strategies mark an impressive feat for the digital investment platform, outperforming most GCC market returns. Since its launch in 2017, WISE Investments has also achieved an annualized return of 10.4% across its various investment strategies.

 

Investing with WISE Investments is also remarkably simple, and clients can start building their wealth with a small startup amount of only $10,000, meaning anyone can start investing with only a portion of their savings. Because flexibility is key, clients also have the option of daily liquidity, meaning they can withdraw their funds anytime, anywhere. WISE Investments is also available for anyone who is a legal Kuwaiti resident, or a Kuwaiti citizen with a permanent Kuwaiti address. Anyone residing abroad who is an existing Gulf Bank account holder can also open a WISE portfolio with Gulf Bank.
